“On May 25, 2013, I’ll be darkening the World Nutella Day site, nutelladay.com, and all social media presence (Facebook, Twitter), in compliance with a cease-and-desist I received from lawyers representing Ferrero, SpA (makers of Nutella)…”
This episode is designed not only to make you feel as if you’ve lost your mind, but to actively rot that selfsame mind, for reals. Though recorded live on WCSB, 2013-5-19, half of it is music, collage and extremely (coincidentally?) SubGeniusful movie dialog clips. John Dies at the End (2012) and an episode of Tales of Tomorrow (1951) both contain uncannily SubGenius-centric stretches, which flabbergasted us when we saw them at an iDRMRSR/Dr. Dark movie night. Dr. Dark also provided us with a “scientific” monograph which describes alien cultures as researched via remote viewing — a classic of its kind, read in UFO Channeling Voice by Stang. Mind-wrecking music is by Fishbone, ESO, The Rudy Schwartz Project, and The Amino Acids with a new song (!); collages are from Rev. Royal deCapitator and The Large. We also hear preaching by Brother Freddy of the rogue SubGenius hate group, The Westeros Bobtist Church. Special guest stars: Jack Chick and Lonesome Cowboy Dave (whose buzz this time proved to indeed emanate from the station, not Dave).

Ultra-Condensed Versions Of Literary Classics
Sometimes reading a 350-page novel is just too much work. And Cliff Notes can also be a pain, what with all the summaries and indexes and character maps. Geez, why does reading have to be so HARD?! It’s like, “just give me the one-minute takeaway.” Well, thankfully some geniuses created a Book-A-Minute Classics to quickly summarize all the classics in a minute or less. Sure, most of the details are missing, but the bare essentials are there.

I haven’t seen Man of Steel, haven’t read the script, and I’ve assiduously avoided spoilers.
But that PG-13 on Man of Steel is making me nervous. I don’t know what it means… if it’s just the cost-of-doing-business, or even if it’s an MPAA-bias against all superhero violence.
I just know that if you make a Superman movie you can’t take kids to, you’ve done something wrong.
